drugs

A cigarette, usually a single stick rather than a full pack.

Contemporary substitute for the actual term "fodya". Informal, youth-to-middle-age vernacular; used at kombi ranks, shebeens, clubs, bottle stores. Rarely heard in formal Shona.

"Ndikatirewo mogo wangu"

Translation: "Can you cut me some draws from your cigarette, my guy?"
